Title
Blockers For Simple Hamiltonian Paths In Convex Geometric Graphs Of Odd Order
Abstract
Let G be a complete convex geometric graph, and let F be a family of subgraphs of G. A blocker for Fis a set of edges, of smallest possible size, that has an edge in common with every element of F. In Keller and Perles (Discrete Comput Geom 60(1):1-8, 2018) we gave an explicit description of all blockers for the family of simple (i.e., non-crossing) Hamiltonian paths (SHPs) in G in the 'even' case |V(G)|=2m. It turned out that all the blockers are simple caterpillar trees of a certain class. In this paper we give an explicit description of all blockers for the family of SHPs in the 'odd' case |V(G)|=2m-1. In this case, the structure of the blockers is more complex, and in particular, they are not necessarily simple. Correspondingly, the proof is more complicated.
